Lady DJ Night
Local 506—Diversifying its schedule with more local, but not necessarily indie-rock, events seems to be a goal of the 506 of late. Need proof? Witness their Final Fridays dance parties. This one-off party features five female DJs ready to unload a slew of singles for your listening, drinking and ass-shaking pleasures. No gimmicks or cover charge here: Just the lady DJs and their hot jams, letting you loose at 9:30 p.m. —Bryan Reed

Dex Romweber Duo
Schoolkids Records—This is the second week the Romwebers have appeared in this space, and it's for a reason: Today, the Dex Romweber Duo—comprising siblings and local music legends Dexter and Sara Romweber—will release its Bloodshot Records debut, Ruins of Berlin, with appearances by Cat Power and Neko Case. They'll acknowledge its arrival in record stores by playing in one. And if the gesture seems a tad nostalgic, it suits the duo, which gives pop standards by Marlene Dietrich and Ella Fitzgerald rockabilly rattle and surfy swing that Dexter might as well have trademarked with the Flat Duo Jets. The free show starts at 6:30 p.m. —Bryan Reed
